Classic. I still remember when I was a kid and my uncle took me out in a Techno Violet saloon with cream leather interior. Some things you just never forget.
All jokes aside what a man Farnhan is! Jheeze, two beautiful motors and he was so down to earth. Finding those saloons are so rare and hard but this one seems to have big spec! Wow just wow what a motor, congratulations Calvin 👏
This engine is a S50B32 and has already double vanos. The S50B30 has single vanos. The S54B32 engine has completely different cilinderhead and yes also double vanos and also a lot of other changes compared to the S50B32. The S54 is a bit more rev engine than the S50 already is. The S50B32 is a bit more Torque friendly.
Stick that in a lock up for a year or 2 bud before you sell. These have shot up in the past few years as you probably know. Lovely example that is, looks new inside. What a beauty.
E36 m3s really have aged well style wise, such a beautiful car. A friend has a Boston green saloon M3 amongst his collection of novas. Who would have thought the values would have rocketed so much, Calvin you have no idea how many English m3s ended their days getting the back end tore out of them at every other junction across Ireland North and South! Then sold on with the classic " just out of England" written in the advert as if English M3 drivers never gave fast cars abuse! That interior is stunning in that car💯
Remember when Richard Hammond bought one too on Top Gear and they took it to Germany for a challenge - turned out it was a pile of spanners when TUV inspected it!
Some of that was TV entertainment and probably not as bad as they made it out to be. They wouldn’t have had it hammer round a track after if it was a real death trap.
The thing that dates the e36 the most is the steering. Look how much he has to twirl the wheel just to make small movements. Biggest thing I noticed when I owned an e36
strange car, reg check it and it says its a 3.2 litre but with the pre facelift 282bhp from the 3 litre, it also has a pre facelift front end too, strange
Try Brightwells or Silverstone Auctions, my dad has had good results selling classics at both. I don’t think that’s a facelift as they have smaller repeaters in the front wings and the nose cons and grills bulge out a bit. I love E36s M3s as I grew up with them and when going to raves like Dreamscape and World Dance, all the top drum & bass DJs turned up in them. I’ve got a 3.0 convertible with Vader seats. I prefer the 5 speed box as it’s a bit smoother and supposedly stronger.
The 3.2 evo had a twin vanos unit & the 3.0Ltr had a single vanos. Although that car is indeed an 3.2 evolution model its 96 model & isn't a face-lift model. Look at the flat kidney grills on it they are pre face lift. If u compare that to an 97 to 99 face-lift model you will notice the kidney grills protrude out more ( as opposed to being flat/flush) the face-lift models do look better with the newer style kidney grills but the difference is quite subtle, & to a person who wouldn't know these cars they probably wouldn't even notice the difference. Another thing which differed between the face-lift & non face-lift models on the the 2 door coupes was the early 3.0lrt model had a slightly different spoiler to the later evolution model. The evos spoiler was slightly more high risen ( which looked abit better imo to) The E36 M3/// is actually my favourite model of M3 & within reason my favourite car ever to! I had an estriol blue Vert 1999 low mileage was a great car but I prefer the coupes myself. I also had a 96 cosmos black 328i sport to when I was a young lad about 22 loved that car to. One day I'll hopefully win the lottery & I will be able to buy myself another E36 M3 lol
The E-36 M3’s were always my favorite M cars. Prob because that’s the car that was around during my High school days from 91-95 when I was starting to drive. I’ve loved them ever since.🔥🔥
that saffron leather is nice. stands out. i used to own a e36 cab individual with that leather. I think your car is pre facelift though looking at the front grilles ?
No matter how much you drive a new car with alot more power and and technology but old is gold, old always makes you smile and happy you dont need techy stuff or ridiculous amoud of power and yeh, quilty might now been the best but every cars had its issues and more once it gets older but if a 1996 bmw lasted this much that very good and relible in a way because I dont think a 2020 bmw m3 would last next 10 years.
Was just describing these type M3s to a buddy of mine couple days ago, my favourite BMW, Love the sleeper look and you never see them about. This one is an absolute belter!
Where did you get the fuel pump from buddy, and what make was it? I can't find a proper new 5 bar pump anywhere for sensible money?? Loads of 3 3.2 bar pumps around the £100 mark, but not the 5 bar evo ones. Cheers
Nice car ! I see the running in instructions are still on the windscreen same as my one. I bought my 98 E36 M3 18 years ago mine has 34 thousand miles on it currently. 2 door coupe Techno Violet and well specced too. Your car has to be worth quite a bit should br interesting to see what it makes !
Wrong. The facelift was a ‘facelift’; smaller kidney grille, and thin side repeaters without the black plastic and screw. The EVO came in pre and post facelift; the facelift part has nothing to do with it being an EVO, its just most EVO’s are facelift as they’re the later engines. Wrong again.

Fella, that’s one that’s on my wish list !! Love beemers. Had an e36 328i coupe years ago and loved it. Was such a great drive. Now got an e60 535d msport which is staying, awesome car. Selling my Subaru Legacy B4 2.0 twin turbo import so I can fund some mods on the 535. Keep up the great work fella, your Chanel is compulsive viewing. 👍
Great buy at 22k....my mates , mate dropped out at 16,17k ..he's regretting it now ... These cars are now increasing in price at a rapid rate ie 3yrs ago you could buy a very good M3 Evo saloon for 5,6,7k Same car now is worth and selling for 12/16k plus My mate is a E36 mechanic ...he says less than 695 RHD Evo saloons where built and now they are being targeted by car collectors as great future investments and for huge profit returns .. Me . My mate and his mate are on the hunt for a very good condition , driveable M3 Evo saloon!!!
Mint example there man, awesome 👍. Will not find many at all in that condition nowadays. Good shout to put it in a proper auction 👍. Take it easy mate 😎
I notice you keep referring to it as a facelift car, but it is not. That has pre facelift nose panel with pre facelift grilles, the front guards are pre facelift with the larger side indicators. Facelift cars had those things changed to be closer to the future E46 design. Yours is a pre facelift evolution. 👌 Nothing wrong with that though, mine is also.
There was a little hint in the last video. Did anyone spot it?
I’ll post a screenshot of it on my insta story right now:

Great video as a e36 owner you shud do more 90s car reviews then move up the years on cars of the times
Remember when Richard Hammond bought one too on Top Gear and they took it to Germany for a challenge - turned out it was a pile of spanners when TUV inspected it!

Absolutely love the Modena interior one of my all time favourites
Hold onto her she's going up in value which is much rarer then coupes
That is absolutely beautiful. Love the leather. The lights are just so sleek and characteristic front and rear. Legend of a car ❤️
strange car, reg check it and it says its a 3.2 litre but with the pre facelift 282bhp from the 3 litre, it also has a pre facelift front end too, strange
Instant car check shows 3.2
316bhp
Total car check shows 282bhp
Regardless its still a beautiful classic
I bought my E36 M3 EVO in London June 2003 currently 34 thousand miles on it July 2023. I love these ! That is a very nice car !
Collaborate with Collecting Cars to sell it. They’re part owned by Chris Harris and he might just drive it 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
This!!!
I came here to suggest Collecting Cars as well lol
I prefer the saloon just looks slick
And rare too
They don’t make them like that anymore 👌🏻🔥🔥
Sick car , sick guy, sick channel
Nice one Colin pal

Nice - I believe yours is a early pre-facelift M3 Evolution.
Pre facelift still had rotary dials and no digital climate control.
Calvin channel is probably one of the best on you tube he is so original and down to earth
Half a mclaren f1 engine 👍🏻
That's a pre facelift car, different front grille and side indicators. IMO pre-facelift looks better.
Love these. And I love the interior. Keep it stock! Whatever happened to the 8 series you had?
Take a guess.....
That's right....SOLD
Second that, love the interior colour.
I had a evo saloon for 5 years and loved it. Amazing car.

Have u ever had an e30 m3? Now that would be my ultimate beemer.
Great! Requested this a while back & you delivered!! Looking forward to it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 top man!
Back in 2000 an old boss had this car but cream seats and metallic purple paint it was gorgeous. Think was convertible.
I wish I never sold mine 😔
Don't sell bro still going up in value 👍
What a hooligan you’re Calvin!! Nice car though. My personal favourite is the e46 m3 manual. But I wouldn’t mind having this one in my garage
Strange! This facelift model has pre-face lift grills and mose cone!
It's an evolution but not facelift.
Lol I love moose cones
P reg was facelift

Wrong. The facelift was a ‘facelift’; smaller kidney grille, and thin side repeaters without the black plastic and screw.
The EVO came in pre and post facelift; the facelift part has nothing to do with it being an EVO, its just most EVO’s are facelift as they’re the later engines.
Wrong again. The S50B30 was single vanos; the S50B32 was a double vanos.

Chill out mate we all make mistakes lol
@@MMR20 lol true bro, it just agitates me. I’ve had over 30 e36’s so like the facts to be correct lol
Loved my old one. wasn't the best colour combo begin the racing green with cream and wood dash . But it was very quick in its time.
Would love a racing green now!
You should put it in storage towards your Pension fund in that condition and with that mileage Cal...
The evolution had dual vanos the 3.0 had single vanos
Check the throttle cable is not stretched, many don't get wide open throttle.Added about 40 bhp on my Z3M Coupe with the same engine.
Absolutely love the E36 ... what a video. Loved it calv
S50b32 is double vanos, the s50b30 is single.
Had a beautiful M3 Evo in Fern green. Second best car I’ve ever owned.
I remember my boss had a brand new e36 m3 when I worked at Daytona Milton Keynes. Man I wanted that car so bad 🤤 thats is a clean m3 🤌
Great vid Calv. We all like old school favourites. More of this please Mr C
Seat on Gangsta lean 😂
Yes e30 m3 was and still is the best looking car on the road in my opinion.
Really good video plase keep them coming
Great M3 and love the colour combo 👌🏾
Lovely car mate, I’ve always wanted one could never afford one, I’ve got a 328i at the moment, had a 323 also.
i really wanted to see more on the c63 but a few minutes in and i was glued learning about the m3 XD

Oh wow that is an awesome car, look at that interior!
That is one mint e36! I wish it was for sale right now!
I want this car💙💙, it’s not about so much the value is going up IMO, it’s a real proper motor standard!!
